As a self-confessed lippie addict, it would come as no surprise when I would experiment with a variety of lip makeup from different brands. All eyes on Laura Mercier and their selection of lip glosses which I thought would be a great gift idea for friends last Christmas. Of course, I ended up getting me [...]
Fair question, I reckon. It certainly was something I had to ask myself when I began noticing my affinity for wearing makeup. The brushes I use to apply makeup aren’t the disposable ones and definitely not the ones that would usually come with the cosmetic. Though, admittedly, when I first started — like any normal [...]
It’s funny how each time I would come up to the cash register at some makeup store and wait for the sales person to ring up my purchases, I’d always wonder if, in reality, it’s a waste to be putting in hard earned money on things that I won’t get to use much. Yes, I [...]
Clump. Volume. Length. Thick. Drama. Separation. Words you’ll encounter whenever the subject of mascaras is broached. Wanting a fuller lash or curled long ones, it’s either you’re naturally blessed with it or you’ve been spending time, money and effort from the wake of puberty to achieving a quarter of the illusion. Ah, the things we [...]
A renewed love for lip liners stemmed from an afternoon of frivolity — trying out CoverGirl lip makeup and hamming it up in front of the webcam — came as a surprise since I was entering a period of lull and I didn’t need the extra fuss in makeup. Heck, what makeup? But I couldn’t [...]
Dry skin. Blemishes. Age spots. Wrinkles. Growing old. Stuff that nibbles at the edge of my consciousness. Is it vanity? Perhaps. “It’s something that I can’t stop,” I uttered with a sigh. Wheels of time will continue turning and it truly is something that’s not within my power to control. Yea, I will age, shrivel [...]
Countless hours spent packing, working through airport terminals, waiting to board, and, yes, the actual plane ride can get quite taxing to the point when you’d find yourself begging off from doing it even when it’s a work requisite. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I do adore traveling but what I’ve learned about myself over [...]
A whiff of mystery that washes down to a more soft, muted, and indistinct scent. The air is filled with a fragrance that thematically fits just right with everything else in my life. I reckon it’s true — what a colleague mentioned a few months back — think about something long enough it’ll materialise. Yea, [...]
You know how it’s like when you realise that you need to do something to go against a thought or definition? There’s the theory; the signs; the reality. No matter what you do, you find yourself yielding to comforts and conventions. Stress. And then, there’s this curious bit wherein you’d like to push yourself and [...]
[Post by Eena Acuña] Its almost 37 degrees out and I can already feel my heat rashes frowning. “Too much sun is not fun”, I can imagine them call out. Belonging to probably 10% of the population that gets heat rash has been a living nightmare. With soccer practice, beach trips, and random daytime getaways, [...]
